Build a house small concrete block is one of the most rewarding projects can be undertaken. The structure will be as strong as any other home and will last for generations, as long as it is properly built. The good news about building a house of concrete blocks is that it can be made by self-taught on average three to five days, depending on the size and scope of the project.
Instructions
- Dig and place foundations with a depth of at least 12 cm (30.5 cm) and twice the width of the blocks.For example, if you are using concrete blocks of 12 inches (30.5 cm), then your foundation should be 24 inches (61 cm) wide, Sum rod 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) to the foundation rods -two wide by 16 inches (40.6 cm) from the foundation and three bars wide by 24 inches (61 cm) from the foundation. Be sure to place the rest of the rods in the castles of brick or concrete rods 3 inches (7.6 cm), and do not let the rods touch the ground between the foundations. Place a vertical rod 4 feet (1.2 m) at intervals of 4 feet (1.2 m) in the center of the foundation-those rods extend your block wall, which will be filled with mortar.
- First place the corners of the house. Type S mortar used to bind the blocks, extending it with a trowel. Place the four corners of your home. Place blocks of six-eight on each side of the 90 degree corner, checking the block with a square and a manual leveling 4 feet (1.2 m) while you work. Staggers the next row of blocks on top of the above-the end of the second row will fall in the center of the first. Keep checking the corner while you are increasing the blocks. Use a manual leveling to ensure that the blocks are positioned.
- Place the line blocks and nylon thread from one corner to the opposite and start filling between the corners with concrete blocks. Keep the line of blocks positioned on top of each corner block as you proceed, and keep the strained lines, so that blocks your path is right. Built wooden frames for the door and windows and place them in place when your walls have reached that point.
- Cells filled with concrete block walls with rods and anchoring screws placed U-shaped on top of blocks -after the walls have reached 8 or 9 feet (2.4 or 2.7 m). Fill in the other cells of the blocks with cellulose insulation. Make sure the anchor bolts are straight and upright. Once the screws are placed for 24 hours, place the beams 2 x 8 on top of the walls -that is the point of attachment of your ceiling. Drill holes for anchor bolts in your woods of 2 x 8, put them in place on top of the anchor bolts and tighten the screws on them.
- Set your roof construction using nails or screws. You can place prefabricated structures on the roof or build on the site. Regardless, the roof structure placed in centers of 24 inches (61 cm) and attach them to the wall plate using the metal frame with fasteners metal belting storm that help support the roof on the walls of houses. Place your roof structure and tins and cut tablets or outgoing date as desired.
